Gill's Notes on the Bible

And David built there an altar unto the Lord,.... After he had made the purchase:

and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings; the one to expiate the sin or sins committed, the other to give thanks for the intimation given, that the plague would be stayed upon this:

so the Lord was entreated for the land; was pacified and prevailed upon to remove the pestilence from it; which was signified by fire descending upon the altar of burnt offering, which showed the sacrifice was accepted, and by the angel being ordered to put his sword into its sheath, 1 Chronicles 21:26; and the Targum is,

"and the Lord received the prayer of the inhabitants of the land:''

and the plague was stayed from Israel; no more died of the pestilence, either at Jerusalem, or in any other part of the land Israel.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Samuel 24:25. David - offered burnt-offerings — And that these sacrifices were pleasing to the Lord, is evident from a circumstance marked in the parallel place, 1 Chronicles 21:26: David called upon the Lord, and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt-offering.

The plague was stalled — Jerusalem did not share in the common calamity, seventy thousand being the whole that were slain throughout the land.

THIS book is unfinished, and requires 1 Chronicles 22:0, 1 Chronicles 23:0, 1 Chronicles 24:0, 1 Chronicles 25:0, 1 Chronicles 26:0, 1 Chronicles 27:0, 1 Chronicles 28:0, and 1 Chronicles 29:0, to complete it. A few things relative to this history may be found in the beginning of the following book; but the information in 1 Chr. is much more extensive and satisfactory.

MASORETIC NOTES ON THE TWO BOOKS OF SAMUEL

IN the time of the Masoretes the two books of Samuel were considered but as one, and thus divided:-

Number of verses in these two books, 1506.

Number of Masoretic sections, 34.

The middle verse is 1 Samuel 28:24: And the woman had a fat calf in the house, and she hasted and killed it, and took flour and kneaded it, and did bake unleavened bread thereof.
